    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable media are described for identifying users who are likely to have unauthorized access to secure data files in an organizational network. Various aspects may include presenting the identified users on a display for a system administrator and/or security analyst to resolve. For example, the display may include a graph data structure with users represented as nodes and connections between users represented as edges. Each connection may be a pair of users belonging to a same security group. The graph data structure display may be organized and color coded in such a manner, that a system administrator and/or security analyst may quickly and easily view the users who are most likely to have unauthorized access to secure data files. The authorized access may then be remedied or taken away.
